When a person is injured as a result of a slip or trip fall in Ontario, they may be able to sue the party that negligently caused the circumstances or conditions that led to the injury. An injured individual can advance a claim in the form of a slip-and-fall lawsuit against the owner of the property where the fall occurred. In order to bring a slip-and-fall claim, there must be some negligence on the part of the property owner or other party, which caused the fall and injury. In Ontario, slip-and-fall cases are vigorously defended. Often, the slip-and-fall lawyers acting on behalf of the property owner will attempt to defend by claiming that the property owner acted reasonably under the circumstances. Another common defence to Ontario trip-and-fall lawsuits is that the injured party bears responsibility for the incident. Determining whether you have a viable slip-and-fall case against a property owner in Ontario will usually require some analysis by an experienced slip-and-fall lawyer.
